Last night, I put in a few hours of painting and for the first non-base layer on the Crimson Hunter.

The red is currently too bright. Hopefully a wash will tone it down, the goal is for it to be a red crimson color. The big areas need to be worked a bit. The bottom will be brightened with the goal being a near light sky blue. Once I have those areas close to where I want them, I will work on the detailing, like stippling the blue control surfaces with the Alaitoc pattern.
In other news, Tess and I signed up for a Warhammer Fantasy Escalation league at the local store. Will have to double check with Hank (the store manager) about whether I can use my Dwarfs or is it only for building a "new" army. If it is only for new armies, I may just support Tess's High Elf efforts.
I bet a wash will tone that red down a bunch. I have found that two layers of Reikland Fleshshade over a bright red tends to become a nice dark crimson, of course keeping it from simply pulling away into the crevices is always a trick on large smooth surfaces. I look forward to seeing your solution.
